Regarding rookie, the MediaWiki markup parser: That looks very interesting. I'm currently using http://wikitext.rubyforge.org, but it has a bunch of limitations. And since it's written in C, there's nothing I can do about it, because of my low C fu.
One of the problems I'm having with wikitext is adding my own syntax to it. Can't touch the C as mentioned. Can't preprocess before sending it to wikitext, because of wikitext's HTML stripping. Can't post process it either, because the markup has been lost (newlines and such, for instance) when passing it through wikitext. There are a few things that I can see is missing in rookie, though, such as <nowiki> and [[page links]]. Another interesting feature of wikitext is to set the base level of the headings, so that `= Foo =` is a <h2> tag instead of a <h1> tag, for instance, which is useful if your main page title is a <h1> and you want to avoid multiple <h1> tags on a page. Do you plan to continue hacking on rookie, or has the project stalled?
